Hdd Power Management - Areca ARC-1880 Series User Manual

BIOS CONFIGURATION
Multiples Of 10G: If you have 120 GB drives from differ-
ent vendors; chances are that the capacity varies slightly. For
example, one drive might be 123.5 GB, and the other 120 GB.
"Multiples Of 10G" truncates the number under tens. This makes
the same capacity for both of these drives so that one could
replace the other.
Multiples Of 1G: If you have 123 GB drives from different ven-
dors; chances are that the capacity varies slightly. For example,
one drive might be 123.5 GB, and the other 123.4 GB. "Mul-
tiples Of 1G" truncates the fractional part. This makes the same
capacity for both of these drives so that one could replace the
other.
Disabled: It does not truncate the capacity.

3.7.6 HDD Power Management

Areca has automated the ability to manage HDD power based
on usage patterns. The "HDD Power Management" allows you to
choose a "Stagger Power On Control", "Low Power Idle", "Low
RPM" and completely "Spins Down Idle HDD". It is designed to
reduce power consumption and heat generation on idle drives.
